The military of the State Border Guard Service as part of the Defense Forces of Ukraine are deterring the enemy in the Donetsk direction. During one of the clashes, they destroyed enemy equipment and captured a Russian military.

This was reported in the press service of the State Border Guard Service.

During the battle, the invaders conducted artillery training for two hours with mortars, rocket and barrel artillery.

Further, the forces of two platoons of infantry under the cover of combat vehicles moved to assault the positions of the Ukrainian military.

“With accurate fire, the border guards destroyed the enemy BMP along with the crew, and scattered enemy infantry. Retreating under the fire of our fighters, the Russian military left their dead and wounded,” the State Border Guard Service reported.

During the battle, border guards captured a 35-year-old wounded contractor from the Rostov region.

“The prisoner was provided with the necessary medical care and transferred to replenish the exchange fund,” the State Border Service emphasized.

The Ukrainian military regularly replenishes the exchange fund, taking the Russian military prisoner.

So last week, the fighters of the Ukrainian forces managed to capture about 15 mobilized Russians from the Belgorod region.

In addition, for the purpose of increasing the exchange fund in Ukraine, the military is offering a monetary reward for captured Russians.

Ukrainian journalist Volodymyr Zolkin spoke about new prices for different categories of prisoners. The smallest reward that can be received for the capture of militants from Donbas is $200, while the highest one is set for the “Kadyrovites”, which is $700.

It should be reminded that, on October 29, Ukraine held another exchange of prisoners. 52 Ukrainians were released from Russian captivity.

There were 12 soldiers of the National Guard among them, including two from the Azov Regiment, 18 from the Navy, 8 from the State Border Guard Service, 9 from Territorial Defence Forces, 3 soldiers of the Armed Forces and 2 civilians.
